Ange Postecoglou has compared his Celtic recruitment planning to a game of Jenga as he braces himself for interest in his key men.
The Hoops gaffer believes it will be the first transfer window that the big guns will come calling to try and prize away his top assets. Plans are already in place if something was to happen to ensure that another piece of the puzzle is in play so that the squad stays strong.
Over the years the model at Celtic has been to buy low and sell high with the likes of Moussa Dembele, Odsonne Edouard, Kristoffer Ajer, Josip Juranovic and Jeremie Frimpong all in that category while academy player Kieran Tierney also netted a huge fee. The current crop of talent that have been impressing and talked about includes the likes of Reo Hatate, Matt O'Riley, Liel Abada and Kyogo Furuhashi amongst others.
